A woman can be over dressed but never over elegant.
Coco Chanel

Fashion is not simply a matter of clothes. Fashion is in the air, born upon the wind. One intuits it. It is in the sky and on the road.
Coco Chanel

Coco Chanel
Image
You cannot keep up a nightlife and amount to anything in the day. You cannot indulge in those foods and liquors that destroy the physique and still hope to have a physique that functions with the minimum of destruction to itself. A candle burnt at both ends may shed a brighter light, but the darkness that follows is for a longer time.
Coco Chanel
Image
Passion goes, Boredom remains.
Coco Chanel
Image
The poetry of fashion lies in the creation of illusion
Coco Chanel
Image
There is nothing more comfortable than a caterpillar and nothing more made for love than a butterfly. We need dresses that crawl and dresses that fly. Fashion is at once a caterpillar and a butterfly, caterpillar by day, butterfly by night.
Coco Chanel
Image
I don't do fashion, I AM fashion.
Coco Chanel
Image
Why am I so determined to put the shoulder where it belongs? Women have very round shoulders that push forward slightly this touches me and I say: 'One must not hide that!' Then someone tells you: 'The shoulder is on the back'. I have never seen women with shoulders on their backs.
Coco Chanel

Those who create are rare those who cannot are numerous. Therefore, the latter are stronger.
